This post is a follow-up to https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/103903/on-the-papal-bull-sanctissimus-dominus-noster-of-urban-viii On pg. 4 of St. Alphonsus Liguori's [*Glories of Mary*](https://ia801301.us.archive.org/25/items/thegloriesofmary00liguuoft/thegloriesofmary00liguuoft.pdf) , we find, for example, the following "Protest of the Author"--- enter image description here And, according to the Wikipedia biography of Pope Urban VIII found [*here*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Urban_VIII) , we read under "Policy on Private Revelation": enter image description here In light of Geremia's answer in the aforementioned post, it seems that Wikipedia *may* have been wrong in their citation of the ``papal bull Sanctissimus Dominus Noster of 13 March 1625.'' It has been my observation that a "Protost" such as the one above by St. Alphonsus Liguori is not uncommon---with all professing their obedience to the decrees of Pope Urban VIII regarding the veneration (or representation in the manner of Saints) of individuals whose sanctity has not been officially recognized by the Catholic Church. QUESTION: Can anyone shed some light (with references and/or verifiable examples) of what exactly these "Decrees of Urban VIII" are? Is there a papal bull in which they are contained or where they promulgated in some other fashion? Thank you.
